Kai's verdictA-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
